2018 Summer Box Office Predictions

I bet you didn’t know that Summer starts in April. Well, at least it does for the movie season. Marvel studios moved Avengers: Infinity War up into April and that forced us all to get ready a little earlier than we had planned. For the second year in a row my friend Conrado and I have gotten together to share our predictions for this year’s Summer box office. You can listen to the podcast above or on itunes/youtube.

I must admit my list is kind of bland this year. Last year I had a few more odd ball/risky picks but nothing stood out to me as a real dark horse or wild card pick. There are a few that could possibly make it like Mamma Mia 2, Eighth Grade, Christopher Robin, Teen Titans Go or Uncle Drew but I don’t see them as big challenges. We will see.

My Top 10 Summer 2018 Box Office Predictions

Avengers: Infinity War

Incredibles 2

Jurassic World 2: Fallen Kingdom

Solo

Deadpool 2

Ant-Man and the wasp

Mission Impossible: Fall Out

Hotel Transylvania 3

Skyscraper

Oceans 8

You’ll have to listen to the podcast to learn why we picked what we picked and how our lists compare We would love your feedback. Thanks!

nice picks, however much i love and want Deadpool 2 do well, i think it will struggle. the outside shot i would pick is Hereditary because its another horror with a lot of buzz around it and Ocean’s 8 is something no one really wants to see

I think my disinterest in Ocean’s 8, is that i would be happy to have an original women cast heist movie, but just remake/sequel didn’t work with ghostbusters just not into the idea, i was expecting a lot more movies this summer, but it seems quiet compared to last year.

It’s surprising how similar our lists are. We select the exact same Top 10 films, have the same #1 and we never differ by more than 1 placement, with one exception. I put Oceans 8 at number 8 (naturally) and you have it down at number 10. I’m banking a little higher on the “girl power” of such past hits as Wonder Woman, Girls Trip, Ghostbusters and Pitch Perfect 2.
